- When the buyer pays shipping, Mercari takes 10% of that too, even though the money goes to the label.
- If you choose 'I'll pay shipping', the label cost is yours and the fee is on the item price alone.
- Sales tax is collected by Mercari and is not part of the fee.
A sale, worked through
Same arithmetic as the calculator above, line by line.
| Sale price | $38.00 |
| Selling fee | −$3.80 |
| Shipping label | −$5.70 |
| What you paid for it | −$15.00 |
| Profit | +$13.50 |
With seller-paid shipping the fee is on the $38 alone. Had the buyer paid the shipping instead, Mercari would have taken 10% of it too.
The calculator that remembers
One sum is a guess. A year of them is your books.
- Every sale, kept. Save a Mercari sale from the calculator and it becomes a row: what you paid, the fees, the label, what you kept.
- Every month, added up. This month's profit, this year's total and what's still sitting in stock, on one screen.
- Ready for tax time. With Ledger: cost of goods, mileage at the IRS rate and a year-end report for whoever does your taxes.

Questions sellers ask about Mercari fees
What are Mercari's fees now?
For listings created or updated since January 6, 2025: a 10% selling fee on the item price plus any shipping the buyer paid. There's no seller payment processing fee and direct deposit is free. Instant Pay costs $3 per transfer.
Does Mercari charge a fee on sales tax?
No. Mercari collects sales tax from the buyer and it isn't part of the 10%.
Is it better to let the buyer pay shipping?
Usually, yes, as long as the item still sells. You give up 10% of the shipping amount, but you don't pay the label. On a $6 label that's 60¢ against $6.

Fees change. If Mercari has changed something we haven't caught, email [email protected] and we'll fix it.
